PRODUCT INFORMATION LAUDIS® Herbicide is intended for postemergence application in field corn (including silage corn, seed corn), sweet corn, and popcorn for the control of annual broadleaf and grass weeds and for postharvest burndown weed control. Weed growth ceases within hours after LAUDIS Herbicide is applied. Symptoms on susceptible weed species progress from yellowing and bleaching to necrosis resulting in eventual plant death generally within 7 to 14 days after application. WEED CONTROL INFORMATION LAUDIS Herbicide effectively controls a broad array of grass and broadleaf weeds, including biotypes resistant to glyphosate-,triazine-, phenoxy-, benzoic-, and ALS-inhibiting herbicides, when applied at 3 fl oz/A along with the recommended adjuvant system (Tables 1 and 2). Best control of broadleaf weeds is achieved when weeds are less than 6” in height and actively growing. The best control of grass weeds is achieved prior to tillering and when grasses are actively growing. In corn, the addition of atrazine at a minimum 0.5 lb ai/A will improve control of broadleaf weeds larger than 6 “ in height and increase the speed, spectrum, and consistency of grass control. Always follow the most restrictive use rates and use instructions listed on the labeling of all tank mix partners. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions and precautionary language of the products in the mixture (for example, first aid from one product, spray drift management from another). 4 Table 1.

However, cultivation should not be performed within 7 days of an application of LAUDIS Herbicide as this could decrease the effectiveness of weed control due to disruption of herbicide translocation in the plant. 7 RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT This product is a Group 27 herbicide. A given weed population may contain or develop resistance to a herbicide after repeated use. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed to mitigate or delay resistance. The following Integrated Weed Management Techniques are effective in reducing problems with herbicide resistant weed biotypes. It is best to use multiple practices to manage or delay resistance, as no single strategy is likely to be totally effective. • Rotate crops. Crop rotation diversifies weed management. • Rotate Herbicide-tolerant traits. Alternate herbicide tolerant traits and or use HT trait stacks for more efficient rotations • Rotate and tankmix modes of action. Use tankmix partners and multiple MOAs during both the growing season and from year to year to reduce the selection pressure of a single MOA • Know your weeds, know your field. Closely monitor problematic areas with difficult to control weeds or dense weed populations • Start with clean fields. Effective tillage or the use of a burndown herbicide program can control emerged weeds prior to planting • Stay clean – use residual herbicides. Regardless of tillage system, a pre emergence or early postemergence soil –applied residual herbicide should be used. • Apply herbicides correctly. Ensure proper application, correct timing, full-use rates and appropriate spray volumes • Control weed escapes. Consider spot herbicide application, row wicking, cultivation, hand removal of weeds or other techniques to stop weed seed production and improve weed management. • Zero Tolerance – reduce the weed seed bank. Do not allow surviving weeds to set seed, which will help decrease weed populations from year to year and prevent major weed shifts. • Clean Equipment. Prevent the spread of herbicide resistant weeds and seeds Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisory and /or Bayer CropScience representative for additional resistance management or IPM recommendation.

See chart below for rotational interval to all other crops a fter a LAUDIS Herbicide application. Planting at shorter than specified intervals will result in injury to the rotational crop Table 3. Rotational Crop Guidelines Immediate 4 months 8 months 10 months 11 months 12 months 18 months Field corn Sweet corn Popcorn Cereal grains (except corn and sorghum) Sugarcane Grass grown for seed Timothy Soybean Onion3 Sorghum Peas Rice Cotton Potatoes Canola Alfalfa Tomato Snapbeans Sugar beets1, 2 Sunflowers Dry beans1 (types and varieties for commercial production except those listed under 18 months) Peanut Tobacco Cucurbits Dry beans (red kidney, cranberry bean, non- commercial “garden” types and varieties) All other crops 4 1 Cumulative precipitation between application of LAUDIS Herbicide and replanting to sugar beets or dry beans must total 20 inches. Furrow or flood irrigation cannot be included in the total. The amount of cumulative precipitation required before planting a rotational crop is in addition to the required rotational interval given in months. 2 Thorough tillage should follow the crop in which LAUDIS Herbicide was used and precede the rotation to sugar beets. 3 This plantback interval requires that onion crops be grown under irrigated conditions. The plantback interval for non-irrigated onion is 18 months 4 All other crops may be seeded only after the completion of a successful bioassay after a LAUDIS Herbicide application. Refer to the “Field/Small Scale Bioassay” section. Cover Crops Use of cover crops as a means of soil improvement, erosion control, weed and/or insect suppression, etc., following harvest of corn in the Fall is increasing. Planting of cover crops in fields treated with LAUDIS Herbicide is allowed as long as these cover crops are not grazed by livestock nor harvested for food. Cover crops are to be tilled under or chemically controlled with burndown herbicides in the spring. Many cover crops can be planted within 90-120 days after application of LAUDIS Herbicide. However, all potential cover crops have not been evaluated for tolerance to LAUDIS Herbicide and significant injury may occur. Prior to seeding a cover crop, complete a successful field/small scale bioassay to provide an indication of the level of tolerance to the prior LAUDIS Herbicide application. Refer to the “Field/Small Scale Bioassay” section. If used in tank mixtures with other herbicides, always follow the most restrictive label. Field/Small Scale Bioassay A field/small scale bioassay must be completed before rotating to a crop other than those specified in the Rotational Crop Restrictions section of this label. To conduct an effective field bioassay, grow strips of the crop(s) you intend to grow in the following season in a field previously treated with LAUDIS Herbicide. The test strip should be placed in a controlled area and should include variations in soil such as type and pH. Crop response to the bioassay will determine if the crop(s) grown in the test strips can be grown safely in the areas previously treated with LAUDIS Herbicide. For an effective small scale bioassay, collect uniform samples of all soil types from the LAUDIS Herbicide-treated field and place the soil into a sturdy container. Plant the desired cover crop into the soil, apply water and place the container in a warm sunny area to allow germination and growth of the crop. Monitor growth of the cover crop over a three to four week period. If the crop emerges and grows normally, the risk to establish and grow the cover crop in the LAUDIS Herbicide-treated field should be tolerable. 9 SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Spray drift may result in injury to non target crops or vegetation. To avoid spray drift, do not apply when wind speed is greater than 10 MPH or during periods of temperature inversions. Do not apply when weather conditions, wind speed or wind direction may cause spray drift to non-target areas. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR. Sensitive Areas Only apply this product when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is 10 MPH or less and is blowing away from sensitive areas). Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment-and-wea ther-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factor s when making decisions. Do not apply under circumstances where possible drift to unprotected persons, or to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged, as crops thereof may be rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. Information On Droplet Size The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that still provide sufficient weed coverage and control. Applying larger droplets will reduce drift potential, but wil l not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, a nd Temperature Inversion sections below). Uniform, thorough spray coverage is important to achieve consistent weed control. Select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572. Nozzles that deliver COARSE spray droplets may be used to reduce spray drift provided spray volume per acre (GPA) is increased to maintain coverage of weeds. Controlling Droplet Size • Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. • Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. • Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. • Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. Application Height For ground boom applications, apply with nozzle height no more than 15 inches above the ground or crop canopy. Wind Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 - 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar wi th local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. Temperature and Humidity When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. D roplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures. 10 Temperature Inversion Do not make applications into areas of temperature inversion. Temperature inversion restricts vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversion. Temperature inversion is characterized by an increasing temperature with altitude and is common on nig hts with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. It begins to form as the sun sets and often continues into the morning. Its pres ence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversion can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a groun d source. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. APPLICATION INFORMATION LAUDIS Herbicide may be applied by ground application only. Uniform, thorough spray coverage is important to achieve consisten t weed control. Select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572. Nozzles that deliver COARSE spray droplets may be used to reduce spray drift provided spra y volume per acre (GPA) is increased to maintain coverage of weeds. Flat fan nozzles of 80° or 110° are recommended for optimum postemergence coverage. • Do not use nozzles that produce FINE (e.g. - Cone) or EXTRA COARSE (e.g. - Flood jet) spray droplets. Ground Application LAUDIS Herbicide can be applied broadcast in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre (unless a higher volume is specified for a tank-mix partner). For weed control in dense weed populations or under adverse growing conditions, 15 to 20 gallons of water pe r acre is recommended. Good coverage is essential to achieve optimum weed control. Typically, flat-fan nozzles operated at 30-60 PSI will deliver MEDIUM spray droplets, providing optimum spray coverage and cano py penetration. Lower pressure operation and/or higher volume flat fan nozzles typically deliver COARSE sprays. Refer to nozzle manufacturer catalogs. • Boom height should be based on the height of the crop – at least 15 inches above the crop canopy. • Air induction nozzles should be used at or near 80 psi to produce a medium droplet size. • Proper agitation should be maintained within the tank to keep the product dispersed. • See the Spray Drift Management section of this label for additional information on proper application of LAUDIS Herbicide. COMPATIBILITY If LAUDIS Herbicide is to be tank mixed with other pesticides, compatibility must be tested prior to mixing. To test for compat ibility, use a small container and mix a small amount (0.5 to 1qt) of spray, combining all ingredients in the same ratio as the anticipated use. If any indications of physical incompatibility develop, do not use this mixture for spraying. Indications of incompatibility usually o ccur within 5- 15 minutes after mixing. If the mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily film or layers, or other precipitates, it i s not compatible and the tank mix combination should not be used. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS LAUDIS Herbicide must be applied with clean and properly calibrated equipment. Prior to adding LAUDIS Herbicide, ensure that th e spray tank, filters and nozzles have been thoroughly cleaned and that agitation system is properly working. 1. Fill spray tank with 50% of the required volume of water, and begin agitation. 2. Agitate the LAUDIS Herbicide product container thoroughly by shaking, circulating or stirring prior to adding the herbicide i nto the spray tank. 3. Add the appropriate amount of LAUDIS Herbicide slowly to the spray tank or mixing system and ensure complete dispersion. Maintain and ensure thorough dispersion and sufficient agitation during both mixing and spraying. 4. If tank mixing with another pesticide, add the tank mix product next (except in the case of glyphosate which should be added after the nitrogen fertilizer is dispersed). 5. Add nitrogen fertilizer. 6. Add the adjuvant. 7. Fill the spray tank with balance of water needed. 11 SPRAY ADDITIVES LAUDIS Herbicide is a suspension concentrate that requires the use of an external federally approved surfactant and a nitrogen fertilizer source to achieve optimum weed control. For specific adjuvant recommendations with tank mixes, see the Tank Mix section of this label. Federally Approved Surfactant The use of a Methylated Seed Oil (MSO) is recommended when LAUDIS Herbicide is used or when alternative adjuvants are not otherwise specified on this label. MSO can improve control of weeds under stress, in high populations, in mixed grass and broadleaf weed populations, and under conditions of low humidity. Use MSO at 1 gallon per 100 gallons of water (1% v/v). MSO should contain at least 80% MSO and 10% emulsifier or greater. The use of adjuvants such as non-ionic federally approved surfactants or refined vegetable oils will result in unacceptable or erratic weed control. As an alternative to traditional MSO federally approved surfactants, High federally approved Surfactant oil Concentrates (HSOC) at specified rates may be used with LAUDIS Herbicide. An HSOC is an emulsifiable oil based product containing 25-50% federally approved surfactant (wt/wt) in a minimum of 50% oil (wt/wt). The oil concentrates in HSOC can be based on MSO or COC. MSO based products are preferred with LAUDIS Herbicide particularly when used alone or with atrazine. Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer Use 1.5 qt/A of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) or 1.5 lb/A (8.5 lb per 100 gallons) of a spray-grade ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use UAN under conditions of low relative humidity for greater weed control. TANK CLEANOUT PROCEDURES (Cleaning Equipment after LAUDIS Herbicide Application) Special attention must be given to cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than corn. Mix only as much cleaning solution as needed. 1. Remove, dump and clean main sump and boom strainers in a standard commercial tank cleaner solution. 2. Disassemble nozzle bodies including screens, gaskets, and diaphragm caps and clean in a standard commercial tank cleaner solution. 3. Rinse walls of tank and all surfaces of tank to remove visible residue. 4. Reassemble nozzles and strainers. 5. Flush the system with clean water. 6. Add 25-50 gallons of water to spray tank. Add 1-2 gallons of household bleach to spray tank (1 gallon bleach for 25 gallons water). Start agitation in the sprayer and re-circulate the bleach-containing solution for 15 minutes. 7. Spray out the bleach-containing solution until the tank is empty. 8. Rinse machine with clean water. 9. Dispose of all rinsate in an appropriate manner. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE 1. LAUDIS Herbicide is rainfast 1 hour after application to most weed species. Avoid application if rainfall is predicted during this period. Rainfall within 1 hour of application may necessitate retreatment with LAUDIS Herbicide or may result in reduced weed control. 2. Weed control may be reduced if the application is made when weeds are dust covered or in the presence of heavy dew, fog, and mist/rain or when weeds are under stress due to drought. 3. Apply LAUDIS Herbicide spray mixtures within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation. 4. Avoid drift onto adjacent crops. 5. When weeds are stressed due to drought, heat, lack of fertility, flooding, or prolonged cool temperatures control can be reduced or delayed because weeds are not actively growing. To obtain optimum weed control, apply LAUDIS Herbicide when weeds are actively growing. 6. If applying LAUDIS Herbicide or any solo post emergence HPPD herbicide (Callisto, Armezon, Impact, etc) after a HPPD- containing product has been applied preplant/pre-emergence, always tankmix the post emergence HPPD herbicide with an additional effective mode of action herbicide(s). Refer to the Resistance Management section for additional specific precautions to help prevent weed resistance to this product. 12 RESTRICTIONS FOR USE 1. DO NOT apply when wind causes drift to off-site vegetation as injury may occur. LAUDIS Herbicide delivered via drift or tank contamination can cause severe damage to other crops. Careful management of spray drift and tank cleanout is required. 2. Field corn, sweet corn, or popcorn can be planted immediately after an application of LAUDIS Herbicide. DO NOT plant other rotational crops immediately following LAUDIS Herbicide application. For all other crops refer to the Rotational Crop Restrictions section of this label. 3. DO NOT apply LAUDIS Herbicide with liquid fertilizers as the primary spray carrier. Only apply with water as the primary spra y carrier plus recommended adjuvants. See spray adjuvants section. 4. DO NOT apply this product by air or through any type of irrigation system. SPECIFIC CROP USE DIRECTIONS CORN (Field Corn, Popcorn, Seed Corn and Sweet Corn) LAUDIS Herbicide can be applied postemergence on all types of corn. Best results are obtained when it is applied to young, actively growing weeds. LAUDIS Herbicide will affect weeds that are larger than the recommended height; however it may result in incomplete weed control. • Apply LAUDIS Herbicide at 3 fl oz/A per application. Always add the appropriate adjuvants to the spray tank (see Spray Additives information section of this label). • Applications of LAUDIS Herbicide at rates less than 3 fl oz/A postemergence may result in incomplete weed control and reduction in residual activity. • Broadcast applications of LAUDIS Herbicide must be made to corn from emergence up to the V8 stage of growth for field corn or popcorn, or from emergence up to the V7 stage of growth for sweet corn. • A second postemergence application may be made to field corn or popcorn. Applications of this product must be made a minimum of 7 days apart. • Sweet Corn, Seed Corn and Popcorn Only - Herbicide sensitivity in all hybrids and inbreds of seed corn, sweet corn and popcorn has not been tested. Consult with your seed provider, your local Bayer CropScience representative and/or other knowledgeable agricultural professionals for advice on hybrid/inbred tolerance before applying LAUDIS Herbicide. If the tolerance of a hybrid/inbred is not known, apply LAUDIS Herbicide to a small area to first determine if the hybrid/inbred is tolerant prior to spraying large acreages of that hybrid/inbred. As an example, do not use LAUDIS Herbicide on Merit or Shogun sweet corn varieties as unacceptable crop response will occur. Late or Rescue Applications Applications of LAUDIS Herbicide at 3 fl oz/A may be applied to escaped weeds beyond labeled weed heights. In these situations, only partial weed control and reduced weed competition can be expected. Apply up to the V9 stage of growth for field corn or popcorn, or up to the V7 stage of growth for sweet corn. Crop – Specific Restrictions • DO NOT apply LAUDIS Herbicide to corn that exhibits injury from previous herbicides applications. • Do NOT exceed a total of 6 fl oz/A of LAUDIS Herbicide (0.16 lb ai) per growing season on field corn or popcorn, or 3 fl oz/A (0.08 lb ai) per growing season on sweet corn. • DO NOT apply more than two applications of LAUDIS Herbicide to field corn or popcorn, or more than one application to sweet corn, per growing season. • If a second application of Laudis is made (field corn and popcorn only), the application must be made a minimum of 7 days after the first application. • DO NOT graze livestock or harvest corn forage within 45 days of application. Tank Mix Recommendations Certain tank mixes may aid in the performance of LAUDIS Herbicide. See Spray Adjuvant section of this label for use recommendations for use with all tank mix partners used in conjunction with LAUDIS Herbicide unless otherwise specified in the following tank mix directions. When using LAUDIS Herbicide in tank mix combinations, refer to individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, rates, approved used and a list of weeds controlled and follow the directions of the most restrictive label. Atrazine 13 An application of LAUDIS Herbicide at 3 fl oz/A in combination with atrazine at 0.5 lb ai/A will increase the speed of control, weed spectrum and consistency of control. Do not use atrazine if corn is greater than 12 inches tall. Liberty® 280 SL LAUDIS Herbicide at 3 fl oz/A can be tank mixed with Liberty® 280 SL Herbicide at 22 fl oz/A. Liberty® 280 SL Herbicide can only be used on corn seed designated as LibertyLink®. Apply in a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre. Do not use MSO/ESO or COC adjuvants in this mixture, only add AMS at 8.5 lbs/100 gallons (1.5 lb/A). Define™ SC LAUDIS Herbicide at 3 fl oz/A can be tank mixed with Define™ SC at 7 to 15 fl oz/A for additional residual weed control on corn up to the 5 leaf stage. DiFlexx® LAUDIS Herbicide at 3 fl oz/A can be tank mixed with DiFlexx® Herbicide for improved broadleaf weed control. Do not apply beyond the V9 growth stage of corn. Glyphosate (including Roundup and Touchdown branded products) LAUDIS Herbicide at 3 fl oz/A can be tank mixed with glyphosate for use on glyphosate-tolerant corn. LAUDIS Herbicide will enhance control of broadleaf and glyphosate-resistant weeds, and will reduce glyphosate induced weed shifts. LAUDIS Herbicide should be added to the water in the tank and dispersed first prior to adding ammonium sulfate, glyphosate or any other pesticide or adjuvant. Follow all other directions on the glyphosate label regarding adjuvants and mixing instructions with loaded (adjuvant-containing) formulations of glyphosate. When tank mixing LAUDIS Herbicide with full use rates of a loaded glyphosate formulation, the addition of a glyphosate-compatible federally approved surfactant is recommended. When tankmixing LAUDIS Herbicide with full use rates of a low loaded or unloaded glyphosate formulations, the addition of a glyphosate-compatible federally approved surfactant is required. Glyphosate-compatible oil-based federally approved surfactants such as HSOC's will optimize the performance of LAUDIS Herbicide in the combinations. Only glyphosate-compatible oil-based federally approved surfactant (such as HSOC) may be used when mixing LAUDIS Herbicide plus reduced rates of glyphosate (loaded or unloaded formulations), or when applying tank mixtures of LAUDIS Herbicide plus glyphosate (loaded or unloaded formulations) under arid climatic conditions. Accent ®, Accent® Q, Option®, Stout®, Steadfast®, Steadfast® Q, Realm™ Q, Resolve® Q, or Require® Q LAUDIS Herbicide at 3 fl oz/A can be tank mixed with Accent, Accent Q, Option, Stout, Steadfast, Steadfast Q, Realm Q, Resolve Q, or Require Q. Acetamide-containing products LAUDIS Herbicide at 3 fl oz/A can be tank mixed with certain water-based acetamide or acetamide-containing products such as Anthem, Anthem ATZ, Degree, Degree Xtra, Warrant, and Zidua for improved residual control of certain hard-to-control, long germination window weeds such as waterhemp, Palmer amaranth. Do not use Anthem ATZ or Degree Xtra if corn is greater than 12 inches tall. Include adjuvants as described under the Spray Additives section of this label. Buctril ® and equivalent bromoxynil products To aid in the control of certain broadleaf weeds (e.g. ragweeds), LAUDIS Herbicide 3 fl oz/A can be tank mixed with Buctril at a rate up to 6 fl oz/A. Buctril can be used in place of atrazine in corn that is greater than 12 inches tall, which is the corn height limit for the use of atrazine. The use of crop oil concentration (COC) or MSO at 1% v/v + UAN at 1.5 qt/A or AMS at 8.5 lb/100 gal is recommended with tank mixture of LAUDIS Herbicide and Buctril. Status® and other dicamba-containing products LAUDIS Herbicide at 3 fl oz/A can be tank mixed with Status® or other dicamba-containing products for improved broadleaf weed control. Do not apply beyond the V9 growth stage of corn. Tank Mixtures for Insect Control To provide weed and insect control in corn, LAUDIS Herbicide may be mixed with foliar insecticides including the following: Ambush® Decis ® Asana® XL Lorsban ® Warrior™ Baythroid® XL Mustang ® Oberon ® Capture® Pounce ® 3.2EC Tank Mixtures for Disease Control To provide weed and disease control in corn, LAUDIS Herbicide may be mixed with foliar fungicides including the following: Headline® Quilt ® Stratego® YLD Headline AMP™ Quilt Xcel™ 14 POST HARVEST BURNDOWN APPLICATION LAUDIS Herbicide may be used as a postharvest burndown treatment to control broadleaf weeds at any time of the year following harvest of corn or before planting of the next rotational crop. Laudis Herbicide will be especially effective against broadleaf weed biotypes which have developed resistance to glyphosate-, triazine-, ALS-inhibiting, growth regulant- and other herbicide modes of action. Specific rotational crop intervals must be observed between the postharvest application of Lauids Herbicide and planting of the next rotated crop. Refer to the ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS found in the PRODUCT INFORMATION section of this label for specific crop rotation intervals. Application Rates and Timings Apply LAUDIS Herbicide as a broadcast postemergence spray at 3 fl oz/A plus recommended adjuvant system (refer to the Spray Additives information section of this label. Best weed control will be achieved when applications are made to young, actively growing weeds (refer to WEED CONTROL TABLE 1 in the PRODUCT INFORMATION section for a complete listing of weeds controlled) Crop – Specific Restrictions • DO NOT exceed a maximum seasonal cumulative amount of 6 fl oz/A of LAUDIS Herbicide (0.16 lb ai) per growing season on field corn or popcorn, or 3.0 fl oz/A (0.08 lb ai) per growing season on sweet corn. • If applying LAUDIS Herbicide postharvest, only corn (field, sweet and pop) may be planted immediately. Refer to the ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS for specific crop rotation intervals. • DO NOT graze livestock or harvest corn forage within 45 days of application. Tank Mixture Recommendations Certain tank mixtures may aid in the performance of LAUDIS Herbicide as a postharvest spray application.
